A Greek legend says that Hercules, son of Zeus, started Olympic

games

According to Greek mythology Heracles had already accomplished his twelve labours, had become free from the service for Eurystheus, when he decided to avenge himself on Augeas for he had not given the promised reward to Heracles. His revenge was terrible. After his victory Heracles gathered his forces and all his rich booty, made sacrifices to the Olympic Gods and founded the Olympic Games. Since that time they have been held in the Holy valley which had been planted by Heracles with olive trees dedicated to the goddess Athena-Pallada.

The history of the games
Best athletes arrived to Olympia to compete in running, long jumps,

throwing of discus and javelin ([ˈʤævlɪn] копье), wrestling, fighting (boxing) and races.
Only men could take part in the Olympic
Games. Women were not allowed even to watch the competitions at the stadium.

( [riːθ] –венок) and cups of olive oil.

The history of the games
The Games were stopped in 389 A.D.

by the Roman Emperor Theodore I the Great. He ordered “to stop this pagan abomination” (остановить эту языческую мерзость). In 426 Olympia was burnt by order of the emperor. All luxurious buildings and the temple of Zeus became ruins. Only the excavations of the 19th century gave us the possibility to get the correct picture of former Olympia and Olympic Games.
